This is a raw-egg mousse that should not be served to those with compromised immune systems. I have made the recipe many times though, with no problems. You can use kirsch, brandy, strong coffee, or another flavor extract to change the taste.
Ingredients:
6 eggs, separated and at room temperature
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or other flavoring)
1 tablespoon cream (or milk)
Directions:
1. Melt the chocolate chips in a double-boiler. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat.
2. Add egg yolks to chocolate mix, one at a time. Stir after each addition until well mixed.
3. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry.
4. Fold chocolate mixture carefully into egg whites, and stir gently until evenly mixed.
5. Chill for at least 4 hours.
